WHAT IS A NEV?
An N.E.V. (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) is a low-speed electric
vehicle that usually looks like a slightly oversized golf cart
and is limited to a top speed of 25 mph. As such NEVs
are required to stay on roads with a posted speed limit of
35 mph or less.
NEVs are great alternative travel solutions for people on
the move. They are perfect for driving in and around city
centers, master planned communities, resorts, industrial and
college campuses and military bases. They are also a great
first car for young new drivers (slower speeds and limited
routes make these vehicles a favorite among nervous parents
with new drivers in the family). No tailpipe emissions
make an NEV a great indoor/outdoor vehicle for warehousing
and maintenance department use. With a cost of just pennies
per mile (actually less than 45 cents per full charge), by
using an NEV for local driving and errands (which are typically
inefficient from a gasoline fuel consumption perspective),
you can considerably cut down on fuel costs.
Charging up an NEV is easy. Chargers plug into any 110-volt
outlet. A full charge takes just six to eight hours, but
vehicles can be “topped off” by plugging the vehicle
in to an outlet any time it’s not in use. The only
ongoing maintenance required is a monthly check of the batteries
to maintain the required levels of distilled water.
